'It's insane': Watergate prosecutor slams Trump's attorney general nominee

Jill Wine-Banks on Thursday issued a terse but scathing response to a report that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is on the shortlist to become U.S. attorney general if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 election.

“It’s crazy,” Wine-Banks, a prosecutor in the Watergate scandal that ended Richard Nixon’s presidency, responded on X, formerly Twitter. She responded to Democratic strategist Lindy Li’s condemnation of the news.

Cannon was mentioned in an official presidential transition document as a potential candidate for the top legal role ABC News.

The Trump-nominated judge delayed, delayed, delayed, and eventually threw out the Republican candidate’s case involving classified documents.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office is appealing the ruling.

The report that Cannon could become a key part of a potential second Trump administration also angered several other critics.
